The last sentence was the main point. Kou Wenlan's expression froze, as if he couldn't believe what he had just heard. Anger rose in his heart … Handing over the fugitives to you is the same as handing over the results to you. When the time comes, my men will have to join forces with you to help you kill the fugitives. What is this?
"Third Brother, it's not easy for this little brother either!" Kou Wenlan tactfully refused. His position in the clan was not as high as this cousin of his, so he didn't dare to go against him.
Kou Wenhuang calmly said, "Sixth Brother, you've seen the current situation. If this continues, it's very likely that hundreds of people will rush back at the last moment. No matter how strong my men are, they won't be able to stop more than a few of them. And even if they do stop them, it doesn't mean that they'll be carrying the fugitives. In this kind of situation, if our results don't match up, it'll be useless even if we don't get a good ranking. When we gather the fugitives, we'll fight for a good ranking for the Kou Family. Sixth Brother, now is not the time to think about your personal gains and losses. As a member of the Kou Family, you have to consider the reputation of the family! Of course, I won't let you suffer a loss. I'll naturally tell the family about your contributions. "
How can that be the same? When the time comes, people will say that they've benefited from your contributions! Kou Wenlan was very indignant. He slowly sent out a soft nail and asked, "Big Brother, why don't you let your men hand over the fugitives to my men?"
Kou Wenhuang's expression darkened. He asked, "I have nine men under me. Can your men be stronger than mine? My men have captured eleven fugitives. If all of them are handed over to your men, do they have the strength to protect them? You should know better whose hands it is to keep the fugitives, right? Sixth Brother, now is not the time for selfishness! "
Don't you have any selfishness? Kou Wenlan really wanted to ask him this, but he also knew that Kou Wenhuang's words made sense. From the standpoint of the family, what Kou Wenhuang did was not wrong, but he was unwilling to give up. He had put everything he had into this fight, so he was really unwilling to give up like this.
Under Kou Wenhuang's cold gaze. Kou Wenlan hesitated, but in the end, she braced herself and said, "Third Brother, you know how difficult it is for me. Please give me a chance to stand out!"
Anger flashed in Kou Wenhuang's eyes. However, this Sixth Brother had already put it this way. If he continued to force him, it would be a bit too much. Besides, if the other party didn't want to hand it over, he couldn't force the other party to hand it over. With a cold snort, he turned around and left.
Kou Wenlan looked back with a complicated expression. He knew that he had offended his third brother this time. He didn't want to, but he was really unwilling to accept it!
Not long after that, Kou Wenqing appeared next to him again. She sent a voice transmission to the gloomy Kou Wenlan, "Sixth Brother, what's wrong? What did you say to Third Brother? Why did he look so unhappy when he left? You don't seem to be in a good mood. What happened? "
Kou Wenlan gave a wry smile and roughly explained the situation.
Kou Wenqing frowned. "That Third Brother is really too much. Why did he say that? Wasn't he deliberately making things difficult for you? That's not something an elder brother should say. It's fine if you don't expect him to take care of you, but he actually wants to take advantage of you. Ignore him. Do you think he'll eat you? "
"Ai!" Kou Wenlan sighed. His spirit was somewhat dispirited.
In fact, he had a good relationship with his sisters. The reason why he was a little bit feminine was largely because of this group of sisters.
In his generation. Eldest Brother Kou Wenbai, Second Sister Kou Wenhong, Third Brother Kou Wenhuang, Fourth Sister Kou Wenlu, Fifth Sister Kou Wenqing, he was the Sixth Brother, and Seventh Sister Kou Wenzi.
Among the seven siblings, only three were males. The rest were all females. Among the males, he was the youngest.
Eldest Brother and Second Brother had the same parents.
Third Brother, Fourth Brother, and Fifth Brother had the same parents. In other words, Kou Wenhuang and Kou Wenqing were biological siblings. However, it seemed that Kou Wenqing had a better relationship with Kou Wenlan.
Kou Wenlan also had a biological sister, the Seventh Sister Kou Wenzi.
The daughters of the Kou Family would have to marry sooner or later. In the end, they would all become part of another family. Because of this reason, regardless of whether their daughters married or not, they would not be involved in the Kou Family's affairs. Eldest Brother and Third Brother had entered the ranks of the Kou Family's cultivation at a very early age. By the time he was born, the difference in age between them was too great, so they could not play with him. Only the group of women in the family who had nothing to do could play with him. After mixing with a group of women from a young age for so long, the result of having too many females and too few males was his current situation.
Between Kou Wenbai and Kou Wenhuang, only one of them could become the family's key cultivation target. Every generation, only one key cultivation target would be chosen, and only the most outstanding one would be chosen. Once confirmed, the family's resources would be concentrated on one person. It was not that the requirements were harsh and unreasonable, but the situation forced them to do so. One must know that with their status, they could not compete with those small families. Those who could compete with them were all of the same level. The competition between those levels was not something that could be settled with a little bit of resources. No matter how rich the Kou Family was, they could not afford to be spread out. Only by concentrating their strengths could they compete.
Of course, even if they could not become the family's key cultivation target, they would not starve to death. The necessary cultivation resources would still be provided. These resources were not much, but they were still better than most cultivators. After all, they were the descendants of the Kou Family.
Comparatively speaking, Kou Wenlan was better off no matter how poor she was, because the Kou Family did not have many descendants. For example, Xiahou Longcheng was miserable. The Xiahou Family had too many descendants. Back then, the Xiahou Family was the number one family in the world. When the Celestial Emperor first ascended the throne, the world was still not peaceful. In order to use the Xiahou Family's power to control the world, he married a daughter of the Xiahou Family as his empress.
After the Celestial Emperor stabilized the world, he began to make moves on the Xiahou Family. He intended to control the Xiahou Family's power. As a result, House Xiahou's many children and grandchildren had become a burden to the family. The internal competition had also increased. This was why Xiahou Longcheng had said that Kou Wenlan had milk for him when he was poor. To put it bluntly, Xiahou Longcheng wasn't as rich as Kou Wenlan.
This was all for leisure. Back to the main topic. Kou Wenqing was here because of her good relationship with her sisters. She was here because of Kou Wenlan's request.
Kou Wenqing was comforting her when Kou Wenlan frowned and took out the Star Bell. After a short discussion, she put it away with an ugly expression.
Kou Wenqing asked, "What's wrong?"
Kou Wenlan smiled bitterly, "Third brother told the family. My father sent a message."
Kou Wenqing was stunned. "What did Third Uncle say?"
Kou Wenlan's father didn't force her. After asking about the situation, he only asked her, "Are you sure that your people can pass the last test? If you can, then ignore Kou Wenhuang. If you can't, then you'll affect the Kou Family's overall performance and embarrass the family. You'll have to take responsibility for that. You can't bear the responsibility of ignoring the family's interests out of selfishness! "
Her father gave her two choices.
If you cooperate with Kou Wenhuang now, you'll have to make a sacrifice. The family will give you another chance. If you can keep your position as the Grand Commander, the family will transfer you from the Tianyuan Star to the Kou Family's territory.
The second choice was to do as you see fit. If your people couldn't come back and bring back the results you wanted, not only would you not be able to keep your current position, you would also completely cut off your own path of retreat. You would have to bear all the consequences. You would have to think about what you want to do and what you want to do!
After a moment of silence, Kou Wenqing tried to ask, "Old Sixth. Are you confident in your people? "
"I only have three people left. Among the three of them, the one with the highest cultivation is only at the Golden Lotus Fifth Grade. Not to mention, the one with the highest cultivation betrayed me once." Kou Wenlan's words were a rhetorical question. 'Do you think I'm not confident?'
"This …" Kou Wenqing hesitated. Then, she said, "Old Sixth, if you cooperate with Third Brother, you'll at least have a way out. You won't end up dead. Third Uncle is doing this for your own good. He won't harm you … I think you should consider it carefully."
Kou Wenlan was dejected. He really didn't want to agree. However, he had no choice. He couldn't refuse. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to bear the consequences. What if Niu Youde and the others didn't come back alive? If that happened, he wouldn't even have a chance to compete in the family. Now, he did have a way out.
However, he was filled with grief and indignation. It wasn't easy for him to go bankrupt and gamble on a chance to make a name for himself. In the end, it was all for someone else. He didn't know when his next chance would come. How could he accept this?
Every time he saw someone else in the family getting resources from the family, he could only ask his parents for them. He couldn't accept it!
In the end, under Kou Wenqing's sympathetic gaze, Kou Wenlan slowly turned around and went to look for Kou Wenhuang. Logically speaking, the chances of Niu Youde and the others coming back alive were too slim. He had no choice but to accept reality.
When he saw Kou Wenhuang again, Kou Wenhuang didn't say anything overboard or give him any attitude. Instead, he comforted him a little, indicating that he understood how he felt.
After Kou Wenlan lowered his head, he took out his Starbell and contacted Miao Yi in front of Third Brother. They were in contact for quite some time, so Miao Yi would definitely ask him a few more questions about his decision.
After contacting him, he nodded to Kou Wenhuang, indicating that it was done.
Kou Wenhuang's spirits were lifted. He suddenly had four more fugitives. This wasn't a small number. There were only a hundred fugitives in total. This greatly increased his chances of getting first place. If he returned with first place in the Heavenly Court's examination, the consequences would be unimaginable!
Miao Yi patted Kou Wenlan's shoulder, then took out his Starbell as well. He contacted his subordinates and told them to prepare for his arrival.
After receiving the news, Qiu Danghai turned around and reported the situation to his subordinates. Dong Feng was overjoyed. "With four more fugitives, we now have fifteen on our hands. Out of the seventy percent, we have more than ten percent! With three more people helping us, our chances of getting first place will be even higher. "
Qiu Danghai sighed. "That's why the Grand Commander is helping us so much. If we can't get first place, then we won't be able to report back!"
Everyone fell silent.
"This is a good thing! With nine more people helping us, our chances of returning safely will be even higher! "
As the trio rode on the Tempest Beast, Xu Tangran couldn't help but cheer when he heard the news from Miao Yi.
"What's so good about it?" Miao Yi rolled his eyes at him. "Listen carefully. Not only does the Grand Commander want us to hand over the fugitives, he also wants us to help the other group get first place!"
Murong Xinghua muttered, "In other words, we can't go back directly. Wouldn't that be even more dangerous?"
